Reflections are thoughts or opinions formed after attentive consideration or contemplation; perhaps as the result of meditation. They are offered as tools for refocusing energy, thoughts and actions. EAP reflections may prompt readers to slow down and gain perspective on beliefs, values, and/or ways in which they are operating in their lives.
Courage
Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.
-- Eddie Rickenbacker (1890 - 1973)
Faith in Yourself
Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent.
-- Sophia Loren (1934 - )
Vision and Action
Vision without action is a daydream;
Action without vision is a nightmare.
-- Japanese Proverb
Companionship
I have found that when you are deeply troubled, there are things you get from the silent devoted companionship of a dog that you can get from no other source.
-- Doris Day
Live Each Day to the Fullest

--Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Plant
Plant in the land of children whatever you wish to put into the life of our time.
